A feature I like to use a lot, and almost every bank offers. Did you know E-wallet has made payments even less cumbersome than regular net-banking? You can just use it like a virtual debit card wherever you go, no tension of carrying money, or even cards, on yourself!

What if I told you that you could send money to your friends and family over a text? Last year, you wouldn’t have believed me, but this year you will!

Various banks have developed multi-social payment solutions to facilitate their customers to conduct transactions through apps like Facebook, Twitter, What’s App and more. Yes, even to people holding accounts in different banks than yours.

Need a personal loan? Planning to buy a new car? Want loans against shares or gold? I recall a time, not far back, when that would mean chasing after a loan agent who more than often duped you. But, not anymore.

With everything going digital, you can contact a bank directly through their websites and even familiarize yourself with their products, various schemes, terms and conditions ahead. No middleman needed!

So if, for example, you are looking for a home loan for a 2BHK, you can check your eligibility, calculate suitable EMI, even apply for a loan on the website. A well laid out FAQs section and dedicated customer support boosts reliability too. Transparency is guaranteed since everything is under your control!

Forex:

Also, today’s banks provide international travel-currency Forex cards that secure international travelling even more. No need to worry about where to stash your cash, just take your card and get going!
